  • All of the materials can be brought from moleroda.com I totally agree the drill is a bit of an old one. we do also sell drills but we mainly specialise in metal polishing tools.

  • We have a product called chrome polish or simichrome that does the same thing.

    We also offer spray cans like the Antox 800S for stainless steel which gives far better corrosion protection.

  • one more question, i'm going to make a real fine polish, should I use a very fine sandpaper first?

  • You normally need to go down to 400 grit before polishing. Some people prefer to take it down to 800 grit so that there is no possibility of lines showing.
